It's been discussed a few times. This is for two reasons. Unix files are supposed to have an \n after the last character (or whatever you want to call it). If they're not there, some editors add them automatically. So, having them there all the time reduces the silly "No newline at end of file" messages found frequently in CVS commits. The real discussion should be why don't we rip out the "?>" in the first place. :) --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PEAR QA Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ----- End forwarded message ----- -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
